Last Week’s Jams (8.12 – 8.16)

I reckon we have a few more months of solid hits before the world settles into Year End Lists or what not, and while I may be swamped, I’m really enjoying the great music that just keeps pumping out. This week we had all sort of old favorites and new, with our pals in Humdrum announcing a new LP, while other reliables like APTBS were doing their thing. Really got into the new stuff from Weak Signal and Mo Dotti, not to mention that lovely track from Little Oso. And then, we were able to close out the week with Jim Nothing and Dancer dropping fresh songs? Yeah, just out here crushing it!

Straight Rocker From Upset Boy and The Queens

With all the things we post, talk about, and even DJ with, I will always find myself coming back to straight guitar rock music for comfort and a sense of home. Nashville upstarts Upset Boy and The Queens are giving off that warm sense of familiarity with this straight garage rocker “Trying to Get to You.” It has that sense of restrained urgency and a sort of palpable tension in rock music you might get from greats like Tom Petty or more modern groups like The Hold Steady. You should find it easy to like.

This track is part of a double A side out now on Sweet Cheetah Records.
